Is there a way to tell if a guy is a legit former scrolled Ranger, kinda like Shipley does with SEALs, etc? There's a guy around here that I think might just be full of shit.

Ask him what class he went through -- Class#, who was his ranger buddy.
Ask him for the Ranger Creed --
Ask him for the CO's name, and 1st Sgt of his company -- Rangers would know these things, and there are ways to check, although I can't tell you where now.

I think the CO was Price. He showed up a week after me. Fuck me if I can remember more than 5 or 6 guy's names. I remember Garst, because that cunt got caught with pyro in his trunk and threw Alderman under the bus, and Alderman went to Leavenworth for a few years for the stunning amount of shit he had. I can't remember the name of the asshole who got drunk and talked two other guys into stealing jeeps from the motor pool for a late night ride through the woods. I remember SGT Pfeffer beating a GCM, but getting booted anyway for multiple DUIs.

And to think I wanted to be a Ranger too. Right up until I got a DUI and Field Grade Art15 for missing recall. I skated out of Bragg with an honorable discharge by the skin of my teeth!

I do know the class number I was supposed to attend. 94-08 and I have no clue what faggotry the "Ranger Buddy" shit is supposed to be. Is that like a battle buddy that holds your hand and gives you a hug when a Drill Sergeant yells at you?

Read the rules before you post anything over there.  

Why do you think he might be full of shit?

Dedicated posers are going to know answers to any mickey mouse question you might ask.  Or at least know enough to fool you.  Ask me my class number and I'd tell you 15-84.  Does that mean anything to you?  Now me, not being a poser would qualify that answer by telling you that my RIP class number was 15-84 but if you didn't know any better you'd assume it was my Ranger School class number which I did not attend.  [RIP is now known as RASP btw].

Not related but just a question for our resident Rangers. Difference between a tab and a scroll ?? Is Ranger a requirement for SF or is it the other way around. Always see those tabs together for the most part. My hat's off to you guys - no fucking way I would have lasted through the selection process. Thank you for your service.

The scroll is the unit patch for the 75th Ranger Regiment, with is part of USSOCOM. The tab is what you get when you graduate from Ranger School, which is a difficult course that is attended by a variety of people from various units in the Army, along with members of other branches. Most everyone that stays in the Ranger Regiment long enough goes to Ranger School, which is why you often see them together.

Actually, there are a couple of times you get free time... (brother and his buddy put one vehicle in the RS parking lot, left a second one at the IOBC barracks, so they had wheels for those couple of breaks at the end of phases when they were supposed to be doing their laundry and such).

Responded.

The name you game me came up in my systems (Veterans Affairs), but it would help if I knew his date of birth or middle name. The guy that I found served from 09/19/1995 to 09/02/1997 with an "under honorable conditions) and a developmental separation code. Separated as an E-2.

There was a guy mentioned here a few weeks ago who was claiming service with 2/75, and a bunch of other crap that was easily seen through, but passing himself off as a firearms instructor, Blackwater contractor, and running training down in Texas.

He was talking about he is "devastating at 300yds" with a Glock, as he went over his pristine plate carrier with another guy on a youtube video.

Claim you're a Navy SEAL, worst thing to happen is that Shipley will stop by your work and dime you out.

Claim you were in Ranger Regiment?  It could go a lot of ways, but none of them will be good.

Poseurs need to stick to the Navy SEAL front.  It's safer, and there are plenty of books they can read to fantasize about their exploits through, since half of the material in almost every SEAL book is BS anyway.
